ASTM A 572/A 572M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for High-Strength Low-Alloy Columbium-Vanadium Structural Steel
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2007
Scope:
This specification covers five grades of high-strength low-alloy
structural steel shapes, plates, sheet piling, and bars. Grades 42
[290], 50 [345], and 55 [380] are intended for riveted, bolted, or
welded structures. Grades 60 [415] and 65 [450] are intended for
riveted or bolted construction of bridges, or for riveted, bolted,
or welded construction in other applications.
For applications, such as welded bridge construction, where
notch toughness is important, notch toughness requirements are to
be negotiated between the purchaser and the producer.
Specification A 588/A 588M shall not be substituted for
Specification A 572/A 572M without agreement between the purchaser
and the supplier.
The use of columbium, vanadium, titanium, nitrogen, or
combinations thereof, within the limitations noted in Section 5, is
required; the selection of type (1, 2, 3, or 5) is at the option of
the producer, unless otherwise specified by the purchaser. (See
Supplementary Requirement S90.)
The maximum thicknesses available in the grades and products
covered by this specification are shown in Table 1.
When the steel is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for
the grade of steel and intended use or service is to be utilized.
See Appendix X3 of Specification A 6/A 6M for information on
weldability.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units
are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not
exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used
independently of the other, without combining values in any
way.
The text of this specification contains notes or footnotes, or
both, that provide explanatory material. Such notes and footnotes,
excluding those in tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory
requirements.
For structural products produced from coil and furnished without
heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional
requirements, including additional testing requirements and the
reporting of additional tests, of A 6/A 6M apply.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
